Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to an improvement in the side gate of a truck.

When widening the cargo bed to increase the loading capacity of the truck,
In order to stabilize running, it is preferable to make the distance between the left and right wheels as large as possible.

However, if you increase the left and right distance between the wheels like this,
Along with this, the rear fender also needs to be moved outward.

Also, in order to improve the cargo handling performance of a truck, it is necessary to completely fold down (drop) the side flaps, but if you move the rear fender outward as described above, the folded side flaps will come into contact with the rear fender. Although this is unsatisfactory from the perspective of truck stability, the current situation is that the cargo bed protrudes to the left and right beyond the rear fender.

This idea was made in view of the above, and by modifying the side gates, it is possible to improve the stability of the truck by making the left and right distance between the wheels sufficiently large without being affected by the left and right width of the loading platform. The purpose is to

This invention will be described below with reference to an illustrated embodiment.

In the figure, 1 is a cab of a truck, and a loading platform 2 is arranged behind it.

The cab 1 and loading platform 2 are mounted on a frame 5 supported by front wheels 3 and rear wheels 4, and a rear fender 6 is attached to the lower surface of the loading platform 2 to cover the upper part of the rear wheels 4. Same as before.

Here, the side gates I hinged to both side edges of the loading platform 2 are
The rear fender 6 is divided into a side gate 7a in an upper area and a side gate 7b in another area.

Moreover, the side door (the part indicated by ``ticking'') 7a in the upper area is further divided into two parts in the front and back at the center, and the side door 7a is a divided side door.

7a and the side gates 7b, 7b in the other areas are connected by a hinge (not shown), the side gates 7a, 7a
can be superimposed on the side gates 7b, 7b, respectively.

and side gates 7b, 7b in areas other than the upper area.
are each hinged to the loading platform 2 with a hinge (not shown).

In addition, at the connection part of the side gates 7a, 7a in the upper area,
A locking metal fitting or a support (not shown) is attached so that the side gates 7a, 7a, 7b, and 7b can be integrally connected at least when they are erected.

8 is the rear flap and 9 is the mud flap.

In the above configuration, all side gates 7a.

When 7a, 7b, and 7b are erected and connected and fixed to each other, a wall surface of a required height is formed on the side edge of the loading platform 2, similar to the conventional side gate.

Also, in order to fold down the side gates 7, first, disengage the side gates 7a, 7a in the upper area of the rear fender 6, and then move the side gates 7b, 7b in the other areas as shown in FIG.
rotational polymerization on the outer surface of the

Then, if you knock down this side tilt 7b and 7b in the same way as before,
As shown in FIG. 2, only the portions of the rear fender 6 excluding the sides are tilted.

Therefore, even if the width of the rear wheels 4 is made wider than the width of the loading platform 2, there is no risk that the side gates 7 will interfere with the fenders 6.

In the embodiment, the side gates 7a, 7a in the upper area of the rear fender 6 are installed in a so-called double-door configuration, but they may be slid and removed from the upper area of the rear fender 6, or It may be made removable.

As explained above, according to the side door according to this invention, even if the rear fenders protrude sharply on both sides of the cargo platform, the side door can be folded down without interfering with the rear fender.

Therefore, the left-right spacing between the rear wheels can be determined regardless of the size of the loading platform, so it is possible to improve the stability of the truck and at the same time improve the compatibility of the loading platform.
